Michael Dunn told his fiancee a month after he shot and killed a black teenager in Florida that he was both "the victor" and "the victim," according to a phone call from jail.

"I'm the (expletive) victim here, I was the one who was victimized," Dunn told Rhonda Roue in December 2012, about three weeks after he fired 10 rounds into a Dodge Durango following an argument over loud music, killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis. "I mean, I don't know how else to cut it, like, they attacked me, I'm the victim. I'm the victor, but I was the victim, too."

Jurors Saturday night convicted the 47-year-old software developer of three counts of attempted murder and one count of shooting or throwing deadly missiles, but deadlocked on first-degree murder. A mistrial was declared on the murder charge.

Dunn, of South Patrick Shores, Fla., faces at least 60 years in prison, and his attorney said he would appeal. State Attorney Angela Corey said she would seek a retrial on the murder charge.

Corey's office on Monday released audio of nine calls from the Duval County jail in November and December 2012, all with Roue or his parents.

Dunn testified he fired in self-defense after one of the four teens in the SUV parked at a gas station displayed what he thought was the barrel of a shotgun and threatened to kill him. No weapon was found in their vehicle and no witnesses reported seeing any of the teens with one.

"I somehow insulted these boys by asking them to turn their radio down, and for that they were going to kill me," he said during one call. "It's absurd that they were going to do that."

A letter he wrote describing the shooting was also released.

"Between fear, adrenaline and muscle-memory, I grabbed my pistol from the glove box," he wrote. "As I was doing so, I shouted, 'You're not going to kill me, you son of a (expletive)!'"
